1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification that is closely related to human health. Many experimental techniques as well as theoretical methods have been used to detect the modified nucleotides and identify their effects on molecular binding. It remains challenging to resolve the effect of few methylations of nucleic acids. Using super-resolution force spectroscopy, we firstly revealed that single cytosine methylation increases the mechanical stability of the DNA duplex by 1.9 ± 0.3 pN. Methylation also induces significant chiral selectivity towards drug molecules such as
